Welcome to Mrs. Newlee's Speech Room!
First, a bit about me...My name is Kerry Newlee and I spent 26.5 years as a Speech Language Pathologist for Ventura Unified School District prior to becoming the Assistant Director of Special Education. After three years in that position, I became a Program Specialist. The I made a big move and left Ventura Unified to become a Principal with Ventura County Office of Education. I currently lead a middle school and a preschool program and all of my students have Disabilities.I am loving being back on a campus with kids! I'm a Ventura native, having been born and raised here and raised my own two children just a few miles from my childhood home. I graduated from Buena High School and then spent six years at UC Santa Barbara where I earned both my B.A. and M.A. in Speech and Hearing Sciences. In May 2014 I completed my M.A. in Educational Administration through CSU Northridge . I've been working for Ventura Unified since 1992 and while I've worked with all age groups, my true love is preschool through elementary. In addition to my degrees, I hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA), a Clinical or Rehabilitative Services Credential from the State of California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, an Administrative Credential, and am licensed for practice in the State of California.
I wanted to create this site as an easy way to share valuable information with you. It's a work in progress, so please check back periodically to see what new things I've added. Despite the fact I am no longer working directly with students, I love my chosen career and am passionate about continuing to support our students with special needs and to mentor a new generation of SLPs.
